Playlist Recommendations – March 2012

With all the new music introduced every day, it can be overwhelming to know where to start when looking for a new sound.  I love listening to albums, full albums in the order they were intended to be played, but I also have a debilitatingly short attention span and an extremely wide variety of tastes.  As a result, I’m a huge fan of creating playlists with my favorite tracks that are perfect for car trips, high mileage runs, or really any situation where you want to take a “set it and forget it” approach to your music.

I get my music influences from all over, from friends (like my main man Aaron) to Pandora to the We are Hunted app on Spotify.  Every month I create a new playlist with those tracks that appealed to me that month.  More often than not these are new songs from emerging artists, but not always.  Either way, it’s definitely worth a listen!

Feel free to subscribe to the full March 2012 playlist or check out the individual tracks below.  I’m always looking for new sources of inspiration so if there’s an artist I should check out, definitely hit me up!  I hope you enjoy!
